Did you ever find a answer?

Brian Nelson no I did not.

I found your post while exploring anything quality related. We lightly use the X3 module but would like to make a company push to use it more often, but like you find it extremely difficult to find any wealth of knowledge

Fortunately, my company uses Sage certified business partners I can consult with when I have questions. I have been working with Sage for the last 2.5 years and have learned a lot about it in that time. I am happy to assist if you have any questions at all. I may or may not be able to help with some things.

The biggest question I'm trying to find now is shipments being received from a vendor of ours. This is what's happening. When we have shipments coming in from our vendor that we know have concerns. Very minor but nonetheless, how can we flag these containers coming in to alert QC dept. without using email.

Is the need for inspection product based (meaning the product will always need to be inspected) or based on particular PO's?

There is a QC field on the PO line that will determine whether the product will be received into an A status or a Q status. (https://online-help.sageerpx3.com/erp/12/en-US/FLD/QUAFLG.htm). You could setup a Notification or a Workflow to communicate to the QC department.

In the Product Master, there can be different QC settings per supplier.  There is also an option to se a QC requirement in the Product-Site Record.  When it comes to which will dictate which setting will be the driving actions for the product during receipt, it’s “which ever is more strict”.

Allison Tentis it sounds like, for his situation, it would need to be setup as Changeable. The tricky part, I think, is automatically sending an email when the PO line set to QC = Yes, is received. It seems like you could use a workflow or a notification to do that right?

Yep.  Create an X3 workflow, for the PRECEIPTD table at creation where the QUAFLG field is set to >1.  

or for the creation of a new quality control record in STOQLYH, which is what would happen if the product is set to be QCed at receipt:

Something came up so I couldn't get back to this right away. I see you replied below. I am going to review what you sent me today. I can't thank you enough for the help!

Thank you Allison! Like I said to Dave I has something come up and couldn't get back. This is what I believe what I need to start. I see below you & Dave talk about workflow. I will reply to those comments after I mess around today. Like I said to Dave, Thank You  so much for the help. This is a excellent group of people on this board!
